Maria Miller the Conservative MP for Basingstoke and Chair of the Equalities Select Committee

Maria Miller is known as a bit of a terrier as Chair of the new Equalities Select Committee. She and her committee members are about to look into how BREXIT and leaving the EU will affect our Equalities Legislation for women. The Committee has already caused a stir by examining issues such as sex education in schools, transgender equality, maternity rights at work, and the gender pay gap. Other reports are in the pipeline, including looking at the impact of boundary changes on women's representation in parliament. Miller doesn't mind being a thorn in her own government's side, in fact she relishes her job and says she should be holding ministers to account.
